Can you guess where this is going...?

I love the use of the "double entrende"...

I found this great frenchy burlap runner this Fall at Robin's and knew that it would end up on my Dining Room table after Christmas. But I also knew that once it was there, you wouldn't be able to see the wonderful graphics, so here it is draped across one of my slipcovered chairs in the Living Room.

That is hysterical!!!! It reminds me of the time I placed a fur throw draped just so on my sofa. I went out to water my flower garden and when I came back in my dogs had drug it off the sofa and onto the floor where one was laying on each end!!! Needless to say that was the end of the fur throw on the sofa. The vignette on your dining room table with your new burlap table runner is gorgeous!!! Happy New Year!!!~Des

This reminded me of our Bentley...he loves a pile of freshly dried clothes....he rolls around, and snorts, having a wonderful time....don't tell anybody...but sometimes...I just let it sit on the couch for awhile for him to enjoy...shhh, our secret!

Adore the burlap as a runner and a throw! It's so versatile! You table is gorgeous! Mine has a revamped dough bowl, but nothing other than that as it is still in daily use for a few more days til all my company leaves!

Your burlap piece reminds me of my burlap floor cloth in my kitchen that I got from French Larkspur. I bet you could use it that way too if it is 3x5. Mine has different lettering on it, but otherwise looks the same. I like it on your table too. Your centerpiece looks very pretty on top of it.

I LOVE this post! Not only do I love the Burlap Runner and have something similar,,but I love your kitty,,,in 7th Heaven, no doubt!

I used,,,well still do, but "She's not making linens like she USED to",,,LOVE April Cornell's tablecloth's and Runners......Each one was a piece of Art,,,,

I used to buy them at Joyworks (the shop I work in, as you know) and laugh/smile a bit ans say "Holly kitty is going to LOVE this on the diningroom table!" She TRULY knew when I put something new out,,,,,,and assumed, ahem, I'd bought it for HER!

I know, hard to keep them "off." But these days, I wish that was my biggest problem with her :(She's getting Senile and wasting away....

I hope you had a GREAT Holiday, it appears you are looking foward to the New Year as much as I am!

Having a little EARLY Valentine Giveaway, if you want to stop over!

Oh, Big Loves to YOU and ALL of yours, including the Fuzzy Ones!! Happy New Year!

Hi Debra, What an adorable little kitty you have there. Aren't they so much fun when they just sorta lounge around enjoying the same things that we enjoy? I often say i would come back as a cat! Your table looks great. I have been trying to figure what I will do with mine this winter, and I love your ideas. Your always an inspiration.

My cats do the same thing with burlap, Debra! I think it's the smell or the scratchyness or something. lol! I did my de-Christmasing a couple days ago and did some winterizing around the house, too. :) It's nice to keep a little juniper and pines around!

I love your runner, in fact I had the same one, but left it outside too long and it's toast now. The runner looks fantastic in your dining room! Hmmmm, I need to find another one now! Your kitty is adorable!

I really like the burlap with the white potted plants and great centerpiece. I also like that you haven't abandoned Winter and jumped into Spring like so many of the store displays have done. It is still WINTER. I'm working on a burlap inspired table for a party on January 14, so this was a good reminder at how elegant it can look. Thanks for sharing. CJ

That is too sweet. I wonder what the fascination with burlap is. Your kitty is too cute and I love, love the table. It looks divine. I just put an ironstone pitcher on mine, but I am thinking about paperwhites now that I see yours.

You know you'll always get me when you show your babies. ahhhh too cute but I know what you mean don't they just love something new in the house...like radar they go right to it. I have the same piece and for some reason Nigella hasn't found it yet. YET!

I love burlap myself. I bought an old coffee bean sack to cut up and use for a project months ago and it has found "residence" draped over a chair in my home too. I can't bear to cut it up at this point. I guess I'll go purchase another one.
